*bump* same problem here with AsRock G41M-VS3 R2.0 / Kingston HX313C9FWK2/8

I've just bought both the board and the ram, and I'm yet to see a single spec that shows me incompatibility (besides the memory QVL that says there's no way to do 1333 & 8GB RAM, which is what this board is announced with).

Anything from Tech Support that's more forward pointing?

Thanks,
ab

Get it straight, the pic you posted earlier showed it being flashed with the 1.80 from a NON r2.0 BIOS file.

I just checked. I didn't realize that the mobo installed is actually the R2.0.

Maybe grasping at straws now but I will try the 1.90 BIOS to see if it helps.

Thanks.

tcsenter is correct. These sticks won't work on this board as they are single-sided high density modules.

See Kingstons Manufacturers Response:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/SingleProductReview.aspx?ReviewID=3822301

snippet:
"" This is a Single Rank module that uses larger individual chips which are not compatible with older DDR3 chipsets such as X38 X48, G41, etc. ""

That is the problem, you need double-rank/sided module to support 4GB module on the G41.  G41 was an odd cut-down part that could support only one DIMM per channel instead of the norm two DIMMs per channel in the G43 and G45.

Also note that the Revision 2.0 of the G41M-VS3 has a newer BIOS 1.90 which "improved memory compatibility".   Both revisions shared the same BIOS up to 1.70 or 1.80, but this 'improved memory support' BIOS is not posted for G41M-VS3 1.0.

Damn - getting older or more specific model RAM is getting harder and harder. Especially when I not live in a major city...

Thanks for your help

That is the latest BIOS for your board. Unfortunately that likely means that the RAM is simply not compatible with your system as it is significantly newer.]]> Sat, 26 Dec 2015 23:18:36 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1593&PID=7506&title=g41mvs3-mobo-kingston-kvr13n9s8-4-4gb-ram-issue#7506 <![CDATA[g41m-vs3 mobo + kingston kvr13n9s8/4 4GB ram issue : ]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1593&PID=7502&title=g41mvs3-mobo-kingston-kvr13n9s8-4-4gb-ram-issue#7502 Author: ezflip
